Stevie Starr claims to be the only person who does what he does, and realistically, who else would want to follow in his footsteps.
From swallowing light bulbs to pool balls, and then bringing them back up on command, Starr is the world’s only professional regurgitator.
On Nov. 2 he shocked Conestoga students when he performed his act in the Sanctuary. In addition to swallowing light bulbs and pool balls he downed coins, nails, rings and goldfish. He also popped balloons with nails in his stomach and swallowed sugar and brought it back up completely dry.
Starr grew up in Glasgow, Scotland in a foster home; he lived there for 19 years. He learned of his unusual talent at a young age when he needed to hide money.
He turned his regurgitating tricks into a business by selling chocolate bars he took from stores. He joked throughout the show about how if you spent a day with him you would never have to pay for anything.
